NOTKS ON TUB MEDICAL CONVEX-
Tiorv.
Wo have had the pleasure of at
tending the sittings of the State Med
ical Convention for some two hoars
each of the past two days. We have
been highly pleased with tbe admira
ble order and the perfect courtesy
that mark its deliberations. We have
no hesitation in saying that it is the
most decorous body we have ever
seen. With the exception of smo
king we observed no departure from
ihe strictest, good taste and parlia
mentary propriety. The debates
have been interesting even to an out
sider.
On yesterday morning a very inter
esting discussion grew out of an elab
orate and able report of Dr. A. E

the quarantine regulations, and some
resolutions appertaining thereto, that
were offered , by Dr. Thomas F.
Wood,also of Wilmington. A number
of gentlemen participated, and we
wer4 pleased' to see the action of the
Convention in laying the whole mat
ter on the table. It was too- grave a
matter to be hastily acted upon. We
may; mention that we are surprised to
nnoVso many of the Doctors so ready
as debaters. On the occasion referred
to Pre. O'Hogan and Moore exhibited
fine Jspeakirig talents. They are logi
cal thinkers and express; themselves
readily, precisely and felicitously.
Dr. O'Hogan is especially a master
of choice and impressive English.
Other gentlemen have shown con
siderable talents in off hand discus
sion.; To Dr. W. G. Thomas those
who favor the action of the Conven
tion jn the matter of the quarantine
are indebted for its being tabled. He
made some cogent and strong points
in opposition to the resolutions,
Tbe numerous scientific papers, we
may j not speak concerning. They
appeared to us as good of their kind,
and aome two or three we heard in

purposed noting the high courtesy
and general ability of the body and
not to particularize all that was strik

Wheat and oats look tolerably well.
Some crops are very fine whilst others are
rather inferior. The. fruit crop will be

Charlotte Press: A man named
Frank Deaton.a farmer near Alexandrian a,
in this county, was brought to jail to-day,
tied firm and fast in a wagon, by his people
and friends, and it was asserted that he was
suffering from hydrophobia. Such is no
doubt the case, he having been bitten by a
dog a year ago. He had gnawed .the sides
of the wagon with his teeth, and would, it
is said, snap at persons with great ferocity
who came near him, and otherwise mani
fested dog madness. A little five-year-old
daughter of Mr. E. G. Rogers, of this

Monroe Express: Robt. Parker,
convicted of manslaughter, and sentenced

from this county, has been pardoned by
the Governor, and arrived home on Sunday
morning. He bad served out about seven
months of his time. We hear that
while both Fowle and Jarvis have many
friends in Anson, it is probable the county
will instruct for the latter in tbe conven
tion, he having more friends than Fowle.
On last Friday the two sons of Mr.
Helms, who are farming with Mr. Sutton,
of Sandy Ridge township, were hauling a
load of manure, when the mules became
frightened and ran away, throwing one of
tbe boys from tbe wagon and wounding
him quite severely. He received two cuts

and the other three inches long, also to the

A Clore na Arretted and Com-
mlite fr Trial In Tbree Caaea
Each ol Falte Pretente tad For-
aery. ' : ' " ,
A young colored man, who gives his
name as Isaac Corbett, and who says he
was raised by a family of Corbetts in
Sampson county, was arrested Wednesday
night on the charge of false pretense and
forgery. It seems that . on three different
occasions he carried orders for meat, flour,
&c, to the store of Mr. H. E. Schriver, on
Fourth, between Bladen and Harnett
streets, said orders having affixed to them
the name of Joshua Jones, who keeps a
cart house on the corner of Fourth and
Swann streets. The orders all represented
the bearer to be named William. When
be appeared with the third one, which re
quested Mr. Schriver to let tbe account run
to two dollars and then send his bill, Mr.
S. asked the bearer some questions
In relation to himself, and be said that
he was employed by Mr. Jones in
watering stock, etc. Mr. Schriver men
tioned the circumstance to Special
Deputy C. H. Strode, who thought ho saw
Indications of fraud in the transaction; so,
at his request the orders were delivered
Into his bands. '.together with a bill of the ar
ticles purchased, and he (the offlcei) called
upon Mr. Jones and presented the latter
for payment He looked at the bill and
said he knew nothing about purchasing the
articles named. Officer -Strode then pre
sented the orders for his inspection, and be
declared that he had not written them. Mr.
Schriver and the officer were both satisfied
with this representation, as also with the
further declaration of Mr. Jones that Cor
bett had never been in his employ.
The next thing was to decide upon a plan
to capture the swindler. Officer Strode
told Mr. Schriver to keep quiet and Corbett
would be pretty certain to come back
again. This was on Monday. On Wed
nesday night, sure enough, Corbett
again made his appearance in tbo
store, partially disguised, when be
was immediately recognized and arrested
by Officers Strode and Whitney, who were
in the store at the time. He was taken to
the office of Justice McQuigg, and a com
mitment secured for him, when he was
lodged in jail. Yesterday be was taken
before Justice McQuigg for preliminary ex
amination, when be was required to enter
into a justified bond in the suai of $50
each in three cases of false pretense and
three for forgery, amounting to $300 in all,
for his appearanee at the approaching term
of the Superior Court, in default of which
he was committed to jail.

Dr. Anderson read a paper on existing

in the matter, but desired its support for
local officers and laws.
Dr. Wood offered the following :
Whbbeas, The National Board of
Health has conducted the initial sanitary
work entrusted to it with wisdom, giving
proper direction to future inquiries and
energizing the national movement by its
vigorous example,
Be it resolved, That the Medical Society
of North Carolina deems it unsound in
policy to interfere with the work in the
hands of such eminently competent men,
because it would be unreasonable to ex
pect anything approaching a perfect na
tional system of sanitation in tbe short
time tbe National Board of Health has
been in existence; and to substitute a new
law for tbe old now, even if it had equal
merit with it would be to retard tbe work
of sanitary progress, if it did not imperil
the very existence of any law.
Bc&olved.Vld, That it is desirable to have a
national system of quarantine, u possible,
and that quarantine officers should be ap
pointed from . resident physicians of the
port in which quarantine is established.
That suitable buildings for quarantine ser
vice should be erected by the general go
vernment, and such other methods as will
have for tbeir object the carrying out of a
Bystem of uniform quarantine.
After a prolonged discussion, the resolu
tions were, on motion of Dr. W. G. Thomas,
laid on the table. -

Willis on Gynecology, which was re
ceived and referred to tbe Publication
Committee.
The newly elected President, Dr. Hay
wood, of Raleigh, was then inducted into
office by Drs. Knox and McRae. On
taking his seat Dr. Haywood thanked the
Society for the honor conferred. He was
delighted to trace tbe history of tbe Socie
ty and surprised at the progress made since
the first meeting at Raleigh, thirty years
ago,' with six members, of which only him
self and two others are now living.
Dr. Wood, Secretary of the North Caro
lina Board of Health, read tbe first annual
report of the Board, staling the difficulty
tbe Board hid tu contend with in the
apathy anJ neglect ncourjiered forty
eight out of the ninety-four counties in the
State have organized, but few have gone
beyond this. He begged the support of the
medical fraternity throughout the State,
and stated the purpose of the Board to go
on with the work allotted to it, despite tbe
attending manifold discouragements.
The report was, on motion, adopted, as
was also a resolution offered by Dr. W. C.
Murphy to aid and encourage tbe Board.
On motion of Dr. Summerell tbe sum of
$50 was voted from the funds of the So
ciety to Dr. Carr, Treasurer, as a slight
token of appreciation of his services.
On motion of Dr. Satchwell the Board of
Health retired for conference, and in the
interim Dr. J. F. Long, of New Berne, ad
dressed the Society, taking for his theme
the medical laws pt California, which
State, he said, had taken tbe lead in a suc
cessful effort to drive out quackery from
her borders by the enactment of stringent
statutory provisions against unlicensed
practitioners, empirics and vendeis of nos
trums, and he urged that the example set
should be followed in this State.
The President appointed Drs. S. S.
Satchwell, George A. Foote, Jos. Baker, R.
H. Lewis and John McDonald as a commit
tee to memorialize the Legislature upon a
law requiring tbat druggists shall have a
license from the State Board of Medical
Examiners as a requisite qualification for
dispensing medicines. The same commit
tee were also directed ta ask in that memo
rial for a statutory lien law for the benefit
of physicians in practice, and to prepare a
bill for both these purposes, to be offered
to tbe Legislature.
An animated discussion took place npon
the selection of a place for the next meet
ing of tbe Society. The President an
nounced tbat tbe Raleigh Academy of
Medicine invited the Society to meet at
Raleigh. Dr. Hil, of Rowan, extended an
invitation to the Society lo meet at Salis
bury. Dr. Lane said it was contemplated
at the last annual meeting that after meet
ing at Wilmington the next annual meet
ing should be at'Asheville. Dr. Satchwell
seconded Dr. Lane's motion to meet at
Asheville. Dr. C. T. Murpby said he pre
ferred Asheville, but did not like to go
where not invited. Dr. Wood said there
had been some correspondence relative to
the Society meeting at Asheville next year,
but that no formal invitation was ex
tended. He argued in favor of tbat place
for the advantages tbat. might accrue
to the Society in an awakened interest in
tbat section of tbe State- Dr. Foote ob
jected to Salisbury and Asheville, and fa
vored Raleighjaa a more convenient and
central place. He thought that if tbe So
ciety met at Asheville one-half of the East
ern members would not be able to attend.
Dr. Bahnson spoke in favor of Asheville,
and finally, the question being put to tbe
Society, Asheville was selected as the next
place of meeting, by a vote of 21 to 20. On
motion, the last Tuesday in May was ap
pointed as the time.
Dr. Haigh announced that Dr. Hicks hav
ing removed to Virginia, had tendered his
resignation as a member of the Board of
Examiners, and that Dr. R. H. Lewis, of
Raleigh, had been elected in bis place.
Dr. McDonald was announced as essayist.
A resolution thanking Dr. Grissom for
the able address delivered by him before
the Society was adopted.
The thanks of the Society were tendered
by resolution to the citizens of Wilming
ton for their generous hospitality, and the
various railroads, etc., for courtesies re
ceived, and the Society then adjourned.
